Question Headlight Issue

Good afternoon - I have an 06 Ultra Classic - This is my second HD - I have owned 4 bikes in my past but will only buy HD now

However I do have a question - I rode to Ocean City MD this past week and rode back home on Saturday, with zero issues, however Sunday when I hopped on to take a ride, my headlight didn't work. ( this was upgraded 3 months ago with Sunpro LED ) - So I did a little research and found the fuse box to see that the 15 amp fuse had blown. So I replaced the fuse and hopped on and rode to the American Legion ( 2miles away ) and when I got back home, fuse blew again. So confused as to what (all of sudden) would be causing the fuse to blow?

Any help??

Its a short in the wiring or the headlight itself is bad.
You could disconnect the light and see if it still blows the fuse then you know its wiring.
